Abstract
The article summarizes key considerations and opportunities for sexually transmitted infection (STI) programs and policy makers to expand the role of community health workers (CHWs) in addressing STIs, identify optimal Medicaid reimbursement approaches, and coordinate CHWs' role. Topics include potential role of CHWs in the STI field, ways public health departments could promote the role of CHWs in STI programs, and Medicaid support of CHWs.
